Well, the low end ones are priced at $99 on the website, while some through eBay are $80 with some even lower. One guy has a small Intuos3 for $99, and the current small Intuos4 is $239. I'm no wiz at eBay, and I don't know art tablets either, so I don't know if this is necessarily good or not. A little searching could possibly nab you a good tablet that someone else doesn't need at a lower price.

I admit I'm still terrified. Constant moving, my family isn't even well off anymore, and I'm at a school of students who either don't care about college or go for full APs.

I also admit, if I knew more about eBay and tablets, I'd search for you!

Hmmm...$80 is still a bit too much for me at the moment. Not that I can't buy it at all, I'll just need a bit of time to save up. But that still least the other essentials. But at least if I get a Wacom I'll be able to do commissions and such...

I admit I think you should find something you like doing that doesn't involve you having to stay in one given location. Also, while doing that, find work at a store that has a lot of branches so that you can just transfer when needed.

Not a problem! While I lack the artistic abilities of many, which I envy,(creative beyond reason, but absolutely no way of forming it) I AM good at finding things. Sure, it may be a little bit to get the money for the tablet, but it'll certainly be a start. Like I need a computer, as my old one went up in flames. Long story. Working on minimum wage with everyone and everything sucking out my money, my good computer will take quite a while to get. But I perservere!

Today I learned that people think I'm gonna go on a killing spree, simply because I told someone "Remember...Rape, Pillage, Plunder, Repeat. It worked for the vikings didn't it?" All with, apparently, an evil grin.

well, Jake you really have nothing to be afraid of, considering you look tougher than nails in a daimond, whatever is out there will just turn-tail and flee before you even chant a single word of crazy magic.
